MenuCHAPTER 347 - Side Trip
 The body of the shinobi known as Suigetsu forms
directly out
of the water. Sasuke informs him that he is the first to join
his team, and that he intends to take Jugo from Orochimaru’s
Northern Hideout and Karin from the Southern Hideout as well.
Suigetsu questions the idea of others joining their group because he
doesn’t think they can get along. Sasuke tells him that all
they don’t need to get along, but just work together.
Suisegtsu agrees to join because Sasuke did save him, but still thinks
Sasuke is crazy for choosing the others. Sasuke becomes
impatient and tells Suisegtsu to shut-up and put on some clothes
because they need to get going.Suigetsu laughs lightly, but in the next instant, he appears right behind Sasuke. He points his index finger at Sasuke’s head and tells Sasuke not to think he is  superior
because he defeated Orochimaru. Lots of people were after
Orochimaru; sooner or later one of them would have gotten
him. Suigetsu believes that Sasuke had more chances to kill
Orochimaru because he was his favorite and not locked up. He
tells Sasuke that, right now, he has the upper hand, but Sasuke
doesn’t budge an inch. Suigetsu lifts his hand from
Sasuke’s head and tells him it was just a joke.
Since he didn’t register even an irregular heartbeat from
Sasuke in that situation, Suigetsu is convinced that Sasuke
didn’t just defeat Orochimaru by luck. He tells Sasuke that
he knew about his  strength even from way back when he and the rest
of
Team Kakashi defeated Zabuza Momochi, who was someone Suigetsu
admired. He tells Sasuke that he will go with him, but they
need to stop by somewhere first. After finishing their meal at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto and the others exit only to see Konohamaru waiting for them outside with a clone. Naruto remarks about Konohamaru finally getting the hang of the  Shadow Clone technique. He then tells
Konohamaru to show him how much he has improved. Konohamaru
obliges and performs a jutsu called Sexy Technique: Girl on Girl Jutsu
(Oiroke: Onna no ko  Doushi no Jutsu). He and his clone
transform into two naked girls who are embracing each other.
Naruto is excited by Konohamaru’s new technique, but
Sakura’s expression shows that she is appalled.Konohamaru releases the jutsu and begins to explain what he planned on making the girls do next when Sakura steps forward and punches him in the gut. She is pissed and asks Naruto if this is the only type of  thing he and Konohamaru do together. Naruto
tries to explain that the jutsu can be used as a diversion, but Sakura
isn’t buying it and calls them perverted ninjas. Konohamaru, out to prove
Sakura wrong, forms
another hand seal and performs an alternate version of the technique,
Guy on Guy Jutsu (Otoko no ko Doushi no Jutsu). He and his clone
transform into naked versions of Sasuke and Sai, lying
together. Sakura lets out an excited squeal and is seemingly
very happy at seeing the display. This time, it is
Naruto’s turn to be shocked. Sai, on the other hand,
doesn’t register it as anymore than he and Sasuke
together.Naruto stops Konohamaru’s jutsu by punching him on the head, telling him not to make him look at something so nasty again. Sakura, realizing how she had reacted, tries to cover up by lecturing Konohamaru to train at more useful jutsus. But everyone saw her and aren’t buying her act. Konohamaru smirks and tells Sakura she is just the same as them.  Sasuke and Suigetsu arrive
at a location in the
Land of Waves. They stop in front of a bridge where Sasuke
stares up intently at the sign displaying the bridge’s
name. On it is written ‘The Great Naruto
Bridge.’ It was named after Naruto after he, as part of Team
Kakashi,
helped liberate the people from the Gato Syndicate in his
first major mission (Land of Waves story arc). Sasuke appears to be
remembering those events and lets out a faint smile. After a
moment, Suigetsu asks Sasuke what is wrong, but he says it is nothing
and continues to cross the bridge.
They arrive at the other side and locate the
grave sites of Haku and Zabuza Momochi. Planted in the ground
behind Zabuza’s grave marker is his giant sword.
Suigetsu goes forward and pulls the sword from the ground, telling the
spirit of Zabuza that he will be taking it. He raises it into
the air, calling it Demon Zabuza’s beheading sword.
But Suigetsu’s arms shake due to the heaviness of the sword
and he sets it back down. Suigetsu tells Sasuke that the
swords of the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen were passed down from generation
to generation. He has always admired them and trained because of
it. Suigetsu believes that with Zabuza’s sword, he
may even be able to defeat Sasuke. He adds that because they
are going to include Jugo on the team, the sword may come in
handy. After strapping the sword into a harness on his back,
Suigestu and Sasuke head out to the find the next team member.In one of Orochimaru’s installations, a man lets out a scream and falls to the ground. The girl who delivered the blow comments that she can’t let him do whatever he wants just because Orochimaru’s dead. She then stops because she senses an approaching chakra signature, someone she is familiar with.
